Punjab govt. blocks release of film Javed Iqbal despite censor board’s approval
Punjab government blocks the release of Javed Iqbal Film despite getting an approval from the censor board.
Film’s director Abu Aleeha shared the latest development in a tweet and announced that they are approaching Lahore High Court against the Punjab government’s decision.
“The latest news is that the Buzdar government has stopped the exhibition of Javed Iqbal. Once the film has passed the censor board, it is total mischief, so we are going to the High Court tomorrow. The rest of Lahore’s weather is super sexy,” he tweeted.
تازہ سماچار یہ ہے کہ بزدار گورنامنٹ نے جاوید اقبال کی نمائش روک دی ہے۔ ایک بار فلم سنسر بورڈ سے پاس کردینے کے بعد یہ سراسر شرارت ہے تو ہم کل ہائی کورٹ جارہے ہیں۔ باقی لاہور کا موسم سپرسیکسی ہوا پڑا ہے۔ pic.twitter.com/dPbQMcxYb5
